Books by Kayla Cagan

Piper has moved to New York City where her days are spent exploring and her nights are filled with painting. It's her lifelong dream come true...except life in the city isn't as glamorous as it looks from afar. Piper's high-pressure work as an assistant to a famous modern artist takes away time from her own art. And Piper's new friend Grace, a budding activist, has Piper beginning to wonder if making great art is really enough. In this companion novel to PIPER PERISH, Kayla Cagan returns to Piper's powerful and utterly authentic journey as she learns how to make life about art, and how to make that art matter.

Piper Perish inhales air and exhales art. Art school has been Piper's dream her whole life, and now that senior year is halfway over, she's never felt more ready. But in the final months before graduation, things are weird with her friends and stressful with three different guys, and Piper's sister's tyrannical mental state seems to thwart every attempt at happiness for the close-knit Perish family. Piper's art just might be enough to get her out. But is she brave enough to seize that power when it means giving up so much?
